well im on a project thet required some 7×14 beams to be cut, some at 60ish degree angles. i was going to purchase a gas chainsaw, but couldnt bring myself to spend the cash on something im rarely going to use. so i went to HD and rented a makita electric chainsaw. WOW what a machine. i have borrowed those little el cheapo ones before and they struggle with a 2×2, but this thing ate through this beam incredible. so i have concluded when i buy a chan saw for work, thats the machine ill buy.
im just posting this because i thought some others who ,like me, thought electic ones sucked might be interested in knowing about these.
has anyone used other brands?

They had a Makita electric where I used to work for cutting timbers. Impress me the way it cut. Used to tease the carpenters about doing fine cabinetry when they were using that saw.
Logosol of Sweden offer an electric model on one of their sawmill units. I imagine given the capacity of those sawmills that they would have to be strong indeed. http://www.logosol.com/webb/sawmills/2005a-saw_alternatives_electric_saws.php
